Using the Intersect method to create a new range from overlapping ranges
The Intersect method returns the cells that overlap between two or more ranges. If there is no overlap, an error is returned:
Application.Intersect(argument1, argument2, etc.)
The expression Application is not required. The following code colors the overlapping cells of the two ranges:
Set IntersectRange = Intersect(Range("Range1"), Range("Range2")) IntersectRange.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
